NISKAYUNA — The seventh-grader killed Friday in a house fire on Niskayuna Drive was described by her family as a young girl who "touched the lives of all who knew her."

In a paid obituary, the family of 14-year-old Grace Kline said she was "the light of her father's life and has left a mark in the lives of all who knew her. She will be sorely missed by those who knew her."

Services for Kline will be private. Kline died in a fire at her 2241 Niskayuna Drive home. The cause of the blaze remains unclear. Niskayuna Fire Chief Dale Lingenfelter said Sunday there were no new developments in the investigation over the weekend.

The fire was reported at 8:21 a.m. by a neighbor who saw smoke coming from the rental home.

Kline was alone when the fire broke out. Firefighters, who arrived 10 minutes after the call came in, found her unconscious in a first-floor bedroom. Kline was taken to Ellis Hospital, where she died.
